How do edit your website’s faculty/staff listing in WordPress
Many sites within the BSU/NTC website multiverse use a Faculty/Staff Listing plugin that pulls information from the directory managed by Human Resources (HR). If this plugin is activated on your website and you have a page dedicated to the faculty and staff for your department, the page itself will appear empty. This means that there will not be a faculty or staff listed in the main content box of the faculty/staff page.
If the plugin is activated for your site then “Faculty/Staff Listing” will appear in the main navigation of your site’s dashboard. It is here that you will manage your department faculty and staff. If you do not see “Faculty/Staff Listing” on the main navigation of your dashboard, contact Rachel.
The current list of faculty and staff for your department are listed when navigating to “Faculty/Staff Listing”. You can click on individual names to enter the editor for that listing. Note: You will only be able to edit titles i.e. chair, director, adjunct, professor, administrator, staff etc. in this field. All directory changes need to be requested through HR.
Removing Faculty/Staff
To remove someone from the existing list hover over their name and use the “Trash” link.
Adding Faculty/Staff
- To add someone use the “Add new faculty or staff” button at the top of the page or in the main dashboard navigation.
- On the page that loads, start typing the name of the faculty or staff member in the “Title” field. The field will then automatically load a list of individuals that you can choose from. You must choose the name of the individual from the list of suggestions, otherwise it will not work.
- In the “Grouping” box, select a category and/or special title if applicable.
- Use the “Publish” button to save your work.
